Sony DT 16-50mm F2.8 SSM

The Sony DT 16-50mm F2.8 SSM is a fine standard angle zoom with a fixed f/2.8 aperture throughout its range, but it's a little pricey.

Sharp throughout zoom range. Fixed f/2.8 aperture. 3.1x zoom range

Lots of distortion at 16mm. Edges could be sharper. Pricey

The Sony DT 16-50mm F2.8 SSM ($799.99) may be available as a kit lens with the Sony Alpha 77 II camera, but its fixed f/2.8 aperture and wide-angle field of view separate it from more common lenses like the DT 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 SAM II. It's pretty...

Sony DT 16-105mm 1:3.5-5.6 Lens Review

The Sony DT 16-105mm 1:3.5-5.6 was announced in September 2007, as a premium kit lens to accompany the Alpha 700 DSLR. Sony has thankfully (and uncharacteristically) managed to avoid the over-proliferation of letters which afflict lens names from other...

Chromatic aberration at both wideangle and telephoto ends ; Extremely soft in the middle of the zoom range at wider apertures ; Somewhat soft at telephoto ; Stiff manual focus ring with excessively short travel

The Sony DT 16-105mm F3.5-5.6 is a lens which certainly promises a lot, with a tremendously useful zoom range wrapped up in a surprisingly compact body. It may not at first glance have the headline-grabbing attraction of those superzooms which sport...

Sony DT 16-105mm f/3.5-5.6

Review of the Sony DT 16-105mm f/3.5-5.6 lens

Good short-end resolution from f/5.6

Poor resolution at longer focal lengths after f/11

The 16-105mm looks like a great all-rounder and works well across often-used aperture settings, but its performance at the longer focal lengths leaves something to be desired, which rather defeats the point of having an extended zoom range! The lack of...

Sony DT 16-80mmf/3.5-4.5ZA Vario-Sonnar T

At £460, the Sony DT 16-80mm is certainly not cheap, although we can't figure out why. It has a focus scale viewable through a window on the barrel, but it doesn't have the swift focusing of Canon's USM or Nikon's Silent Wave motors

Massively expensive, Slow, Average image quality

Poor image quality, slow conventional focusing and a lack of extras make this a disappointing buy, especially considering its price. Sony needs to rework its range to score higher

Sony 16-50mm f/2.8 SSM

If you're after a versatile lens for your kit bag then a fast standard should definitely be on your shopping list. We took the Sony 16-50mm f/2.8 SSM along to a busy marketplace to test it in a variety of situations.

Sony DT 16-80mm f/3.5-4.5 ZA ultra zoom lens

The Sony DT 16-80mm f/3.5-4.5 ZA ultra zoom lens has a really versatile focal range and produces some good images at f/11 and below.

The Sony DT 16-80mm f/3.5-4.5 ZA has a really versatile focal range and produces good images at f/11 and below. It’s let down by a softness at the smaller apertures, though, which is disappointing for a lens at this price. For Sony D-SLR owners who...
